Thanks

Cool let me know what you find. I can say using my Hero for navigation while driving works great. However using it to measure walking/running may have to be more accurate, 3 tenths of a mile short or long makes a difference at the end of 3 miles.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Mine has been as accurate as I previously stated, even when walking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Mine has been accurate down to 3 meters. Walking down to the park (about 1.7) miles is pretty much spot on in google maps. I just have to tap the little blue arrow a couple of times to "improve" the location before I start walking or driving anywhere.

Longest I've tested it is about 17 miles driving. It was off by about .1 as a prior user stated.

I'm probably about to make the switch to the Evo, and I'm wondering what ever happened with the displays switching that I heard of. I couldn't quite keep up with the news, but from what I gather, the Evo used to have an AMOLED display, but switched to a	sLCD.

Now the specs I find (with no help from the crappy specs on the htc site) say that the Evo has either an OLED display or a TFT. Is TFT the same as sLCD? Are all Evos on the same display now? Are white Evos on a certain display? And if I remember right, the Samsung Intercept had a TFT, and it didn't look very good. Hopefully the Evo can offer better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Evo's have always been TFT LCD. Never amoled. The Incredible, basically the same phone but smaller and on verizon, originally shipped with an amoled and switched to slcd, so that may be what you heard.

THe different displays in the Evo are the Epson and Novatech (nova) displays. Basically, most hardware 002 phones had the nova, 003's had a mix of both, and 004's are mostly coming with nova's again. IMO, the nova is the better display. It's WAY brighter, and the whites are whiter. I once got a refurb with an epson and compared the two side by side, and the epson was way duller, and the whites looked yellow. The screen looked like it had been setting in an ash tray for years.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon H:
Thanks a lot for the information. I'll be checking out some TFT displays to see how I like it today.

Hi all,

I have a solution for make a chevron functionaly again.

For all, who was a last WP7 update from Microsoft (ZUNE).

Step 1) Restore a phone WP7 OS build. Synchronize phone with Zune - check for updates - than hit the restore button. I have a last update (OS build 7.0.7008 - after restore have OS build 7.0.7004)

Step 2) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127&page=86

Step 3) Aplly chevron http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938106

Worked perfectly for me on my HTC 7 Trophy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tbk21:
How do we make chevron functionally again without restoring?

And you said after the restore you had version 7004. But with 7004 you can't install the NoDo update.

I think we should wait for WPDM, it is still in private beta. WPDM is able to unlock the phone without the need of Chevron.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stillriza:
What is wrong with the Chevron tool?

By last update do you mean the pre-Nodo update?

I hard reset my focus then flashed the update through Zune, and used the Chevron tool to unlock again without any issues, side loaded the apps I had prior the update. Is the issue people experiencing only prevalent with HTC phones?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
after nodo chevron doesn't work
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tbk21:
That is the problem, you can only use Chevron again after a hard reset. I don't want to reset my phone after every small update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kawgirlval69:
you shouldnt have to.... mine is updated and still unlocked...

all i did was go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc select hosts and deleted the developerservices.windows.com and chevron was back and running...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
that's not true...I have the beta and that feature has been removed. Now if someone wants to make an addin to include that be my guest but it don't work
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stillriza:
Not true. I only reset because I was having issues with Zune and the Zune driver loading on my PC. I was also testing to see if the cert. installed when unlocking was in conflict with the Zune cert. Till this day I cannot get zune running on my desktop but it works absolutely fine on my laptop.

This ^^

Here also got an issue,

After hard reset on second updated on my htc mozart, chevron still works but can only install 7 apps from deployer, after that always appear an error, i did 2 reset came out with the same result

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Alphamale156:
I'm having issues as well.

I've installed the cert and deleted developerservices.windows.com a few times now, but when I run Chevron, it keeps on poppingup the error msg of having trouble communicating with the phone.

I don't want to go through another hard reset. That's way too many just to get this phone running.

My original problem was that I couldn't deploy apps anymore, giving me the error that it could not communicate with my phone due to it being locked or zune has not been connected.

Help!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] superaca:
@alphamale156 did you lock ur phone again after prevent to lock it again with the registry hack? If so no chance u can unlock it again, u must do the harf reset, thats what i did.

Because chevron works fine on hard reset wp last update but got an issue after the chevron works which is on the unlocked phone with the latest update

Any suggestion?

Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bigfoune:
no need to hard reset after the update

just reinstall the certificat

open chevron and unlock

go to application deployment

and install your xap :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] superaca:
chevron find my phone still unlocked, but i couldnt install any sideloaded apps anymore.. should i install certificate once again?

-------edited------

just uninstall 1 apps, and i can install 2 apps, and now connection error appears....

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Joelh1:
I am in USA and have the DVP running 7355. At this time there is no way to get Chevron7 running.

In fact on 7355, I am very limited. No Chevron7 and EM is missing many of the menu item found in earlier versions.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bigfoune:
no problemo ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nofear365:
I think the problem most of us are having right now is Chevron no longer sees the device. After zune loads I try to launch chevron and it can't even find my phone. As a result my device is now locked and my side loaded apps are deleted as I try to launch them.

Everything worked great up until this weekend. 5 weeks trouble free, now this.

I've reinstalled the cert, I've even redone everything on a clean win 7 machine. No good. I'm convinced that since the zune update something in the phone will not cooperate for chevron or zune stops traffic. Seems like the consensus is to reset the phone and reinstall zune with network cable unplugged.

This fix seems to be worse as the special key popup is even more noticeable than before. Perhaps a change in timing would be better. Maybe Samsung changed this in response to complaints of the popup coming up when unwanted.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Forcystos:
Now fix the QAOL bug :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
I've seen mention of this before, but I'm not particularly familiar with the issue.

When the does the special key popup happen (besides long-pressing a letter)? Can you give an example that would somewhat-reliably recreate the problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
mkasick the patch works beautifully! one note you might want to mention is any kernel developers that attempt to change the Kconfig or CONFIG_HZ=256 (it is set to 256 here but the Kconfig sets it to 1000 anyway) then that will throw this timer off (patched or not)

i think samsung missed the CONFIG_HZ=256 being used in the Kconfig...if we used the config's value in original settings (256/10) then that would give us 25.6 where as your patch is giving us 30 (3*1000/100)...i may fix this later but using your diff patch for now...thanks again

[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
I hate to be "THAT" guy but..

If you press and old A for about a second you get that popup everyone is referring to.

Now if we are decreasing that timer unintentionally with this patch it could produce it popping up all the dang time on accident.

It was a known issue in DI18 I believe, that it would come up to frequently, Samsung probably fixed it by increasing that timer..

On genocide .3a and my rom I can't produce the hello bug reliably, the missed keys seem completely random and happen very very rarely with Swype gone.

Just a thought.

Nice to see, mine was a horrible fail anyways lol! but hey I was bored and you can't hurt anything by trying :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i never new that would pop up til u just told me, i guess i dont type multiple "A's" often..
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
I wasn't sure what this was. Then I saw this post which describes it. Amusing.

Sadly I don't think it's an easy fix. This bug is known as ghosting, and it's due to the way the keyboard matrix works. If you simultaneously press keys in two different rows ("columns" in driver-speak), e.g., Q & A, pressing L is ambiguous. The hardware, since it lacks diodes, can't differentiate between L & O. Basically, if multiple buttons are pressed simultaneously all bets are off.

If this was a serious issue, as in folks were seeing spurious keypresses when not intentionally trying to perturb the hardware, we could fix it by modifying the keyboard driver to just ignore all press events when multiple columns have non-zero key masks. Basically this would result in simultaneous key presses not registering, whether they're in conflict or not.

I don't think it should. Keep in mind that jiffies (the unit timers use) are defined in terms of CONFIG_HZ anyways. Specifically, HZ=CONFIG_HZ (in kernel space), and time_in_seconds = time_in_jiffies/HZ.

So a delay of (3*HZ/100) is nominally 30 ms regardless of HZ. It only deviates because it's integer division, so while (3*1000/100) = 30 ms, (3*256/100) is 23 27 ms (edit: foolish math! multiply before divide). For the most part, it shouldn't matter too much.

Wait what? CONFIG_HZ is 256 in both my .config and autoconf.h. Is there some bug I'm not aware of that resets it to 1000, or are you using 1000 in your config?

I think they used CONFIG_HZ=200 in DI18, and it was changed to 256 for Froyo. The Linux default (on i386 anways) is 250 IIRC. I'm not sure why Samsung bothered to change it, maybe it's a upstream thing. But 200 vs 250 vs 256 is somewhat arbitrary anyways.

Hmm, I tried to induce both of these but I can't seem to. Any other thoughts on it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
Please don't take my first comments as criticism of any kind! Just discussing the topic at hand :)

I don't type multiple A's either but when changing that timer to be much shorter does that make the time required to hold down A to produce that pop up shorter as well?

I saw a few people report that it makes it more noticeable (accidental pop ups).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Ah, no, different timer. Changing the duration of keypad_timer merely changes how often the kernel keyboard driver checks to see if a key has been released. But if you hold a key down for 5 seconds, the kernel won't report a key_release event until 5 seconds after the key_press event. In the interim, other stuff might be happening like the "special character popup", or a key-repeat timer--but those are IME/app level and not controlled by the kernel.

If anything, this patch should strictly help. Say the "special character popup" happens after holding down a key for 0.5 seconds (it's about this). Previously, if you held a key down for 0.43 s, the release might not be detected until after 0.5 s and the popup would happen. Now, if you hold a key down for 0.43 s, the release would be detected no later than 0.46 s, and the popup won't show.

Think of it this way: a shorter keypad_timer results in more accurate key event timing, but (somewhat negligibly) increases CPU load due to having to run the scan routine more often.

So I am new to the android scene, but I am having a blast! I have just a couple of questions that I have, and I am sure that others have as well, so I figured I would compile them in this thread, then others with answers can chime in.

Q. What exactly does flashing the radio mean?

Q. What exactly does flashing a Kernel mean?

Q. When flashing a ROM, does that mean the containing ROM will flash the kernel and radio automatically?

Thats a start...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
I am a newb too and I find it hard to get responses to newb ques. Let me answer to the best of my knowledge.

Flashing a radio is actually that. It's like flashing a router. The software changes and it can be a bit risky. Never have done it myself and probably won't unless I see a good reason too. ROM's like revolution don't require it.

Kernal is the boot portion of the phone. flashing it can give you the ability to overclock. Not quite sure what else as I learned this yesterday.

ROM is the operating system essentialy. I think there are some rom's out there that flash the kernal automatically but not the radio. No ROM will flash a radio

Hope that helps!

read carefully

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
First, turn phone off, touch one of the soft keys and wait for backlight to go out. Hold vol dwn, home button and power to check u have access to Download mode. If yes, then remove battery and get rooted, if not then u need to download and run the 3 button combo fix ( there is one of the methods that is very straightforward and works - doesn't require any ssh or cmd stuff ).

Second, you need the phone rooted to get access to the system. Superoneclick is the one I use for rooting - very straight forward.

Then u can use titanium backup to remove whatever system apps u want.
